 Inside the Book

Wanna or Hafta?
Are you pulling the gun because you wanna… or because you hafta?

The law cares. So will a DA. And a jury.
This book helps you make the right call — before it’s too late.

Written by Colorado firearms instructor Rick Sindeband, Wanna or Hafta breaks down when deadly force is truly justified — and when it will land you in court or worse.

Inside you’ll learn:

  • What Colorado law actually says about use of force

  • How “reasonableness” is judged in real-world situations

  • Why conflict avoidance is a life-saving skill

  • How gear, training, and mindset must align

  • What prosecutors look for after a defensive shooting

This isn’t about shooting — it’s about thinking.
Because when the smoke clears, the question will always be:
Was it a wanna… or a hafta?

Expert information from a seasoned pro

This book goes into useful and important detail regarding everything you need to know to stay out of jail while protecting yourself and your family in the state of Colorado – if you think you know it already, trust me, you don’t. My favorite aspect of this book is that you’re not wading through pages and pages of text. Rick just lays it out in plain english with bullet points. If anything, this book can be used more as a reference manual than a one-time read. I also recommend taking his in-person classes. Rick’s teaching methods reflect his decades of experience. His sense of humor and wit makes a long permit class enjoyable and rewarding.
